If you travel regularly to Japan this app is a must. Even if you don't understand a stitch of Japanese you can figure it out. It's about 35 apps in one. Finally it's available in the US App Store so you don't have to switch to the Japan App Store to update it. Thank you! Seriously, this puts The Weather Channel to shame. Earthquakes, typhoons, allergies, weather alerts, high resolution radar, One hour, three hour and one week weather forecasts, Live cams of volcanoes in the area, etc, etc. there's even a separate Bluetooth weather beacon you can get to totally geek out on the weather. When you travel back to the US, hit the GPS mark and you'll get a local forecast of your city. The radar won't work but that's OK.
